“I am so thrilled to have been chosen for this fantastic opportunity! I’m truly grateful to Peter and the entire team at Sundance, as well as Doreen and everyone at BMI. I want to give a big thank you to my 5 Alarm Music and ole family for the support as I embark on this new adventure, and can’t wait to bring back everything I learn,” commented Carew.
